Vegan Chickpea Tuna Sandwich

I really love this recipe for a quick and easy lunch because the chickpea tuna is so simple to create. Made with mashed chickpeas, tahini, lemon, onion and some salt and pepper. It�s dead easy to whip together, just as I remember tuna sandwiches being as a teen.

Tuna sandwich in fact was a go-to for me in high school and university because of the minimal effort and maximum taste. The input to output ratio can�t be beat. Plus, mixing up a batch of tuna salad required no cooking skills whatsoever, and as a busy student I wanted nothing less than to spend my time in the kitchen. How things have changed.

As for today, my days are not complete without long romantic walks to the fridge, but even still a simple lunch recipe is one that peaks my interest. Especially when it requires being sandwiched between two slices whole-wheat bread.
